TiVo Inc. has just launched it’s Tivo mini extension for streaming pre-recorded shows in different TVs in houses that use TiVo as their entertainment system.

This box set is especially useful if, of course, you have more than one television in your house. Second, if there are disagreements on television viewing options between family members.

Although it works with wired Internet connection, which is mind-blowingly outdated to be completely frank, this mini box empowers all household members to watch whatever they please to at any time at any room.

Mind you that the mini box set doesn't work with TiVo Premiere or Premiere XL, but it does let the user access audio and video content from Hulu Plus, Pandora, YouTube and Spotify.
